I agree with this statement 110%!
The correct equation is
Energy In = Energy Out + Energy Stored
I disagree with this statement.. well sort of.
For "the regular joe".. sure.
HOWEVER, as a blanket statemnt.. I don't think it is true if you follow conservation of energy. AS an example, if you believe what Michael Phelps says he eats when he is training hard combined with swimming a lot, he most certainly "over eats" per any definition we can come up with.. He works it off. |
I see what you're saying. What I have in mind by overeating is consuming more calories than you expend. Their is no known antidote for that. The regular joe has neither the time nor the capacity to exercise enough to compensate for the calories he consumes.
But no, I don't believe what Michael Phelps says.
